Could Your Teen (or You) Have Scurvy?

Answer these questions honestly:

1. Have you eaten only ramen for the past three months?

2. Do your gums bleed when you brush your teeth (or when you think about your student loans)?

3. Has it been over 90 days since you last saw a piece of fruit that wasn't in a Skittle?

4. Do you feel unusually tired after climbing one flight of stairs or opening a new packet of instant noodles?

5. Have friends described you as 'looking like a pirate' unironically?

6. When was the last time you consumed something with actual vitamin C? Be specific.

7. Do you own more than three flavors of ramen?

8. Have you ever considered 'orange soda' a serving of fruit?
